"I feel AMAZING being in the last eight" 😃 | Jack Draper reaches the US Open quarter-finals

[@rijgrg1]

Jack Draper… this guy is a special talent, and so well spoken. GB is so lucky to have him

[@tonytse4905]

Good luck. The guy's a cheater and he vomits on court. Not my next candidate for US Open Champion.

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Congrats Jack! 👍

[@peaceharmony74]

Well done Jack! UK behind you all the wayx

[@Matthew9818]

So he should . Doesn’t matter what happens now . He has reached a grand slam quarter final . A big career milestone and still only 22 .

[@lingolarker9318]

Good to read that comment. It really was about getting to the latter stages. I felt he absolutely HAD to reach QF at least at this tourno for there to be any realistic chance of landing one of the big ones eventually. Nearly all mid to late 20s first time Slam winners in the Open era have ‘served notice’ by their very early 20s with at least one deep run.

Let's go Jack! our best one by far

[@npe1]

Been watching the progress of this young man since he was runner up in Junior Wimbledon in 2018. He is now coming into his own and has a great career ahead of him.

[@stujoker]

Watching him play live in New York in 1st round and getting to semis is incredible - LFG Jack! Keep going

[@Merro959]

He’s playing great and seems so much more relaxed and confident with the media this season 🎉

[@1983andyjm]

In to the semis now 😁

[@loppsy3891]

Go jack

[@JLZR1]

A class act.. on and off court 👌🏻

[@lukepatterson5367]

Apart from last week when he showed very bad sportsman ship

[@ANGELOFDARKification]

​@@lukepatterson5367 That was on the Umpire more than Draper tbh. He didn't see what happened when he volleyed even if it was a shank. He was also willing to replay the point if the Umpire said so.

[@lukepatterson5367]

Look at his reaction he new exactly what happened ha!

[@kevinprior3549]

Draper can win this... why not?

[@DavidinMiami]

I'm expecting "bat-tl" with his RP accent, but he says "bat'l." This has definitely changed in South Britain in recent decades. (As an American, I have always loved the very propah RP accent.)

[@byzantinegold]

Is this RP?

[@yedis1750]

@@byzantinegold No it's not Received pronunciation. It's Estuary English.

[@lizrivers4422]

He's from a privileged background having been sent to a private posh Prep school until 11, then to a Private boarding school from 11 until 18 though I don't think he boarded. He tries not to have a posh accent....😂

[@DavidinMiami]

@@lizrivers4422 Yeah, I detect moments when it sounds very posh, and other moments when it's more relaxed and everyday/common.

[@DavidinMiami]

@@yedis1750 I had to look up examples of estuary. Wow, a blend of RP and Cockney! I had no idea. I'm from Miami, FL. I'm actually more informed about British accents than most Americans, believe it or not; most Americans think all Brits have the same accent. (Pretty much.) Cheers! Cheerio!

[@TremblingQualifier]

dreamy!

[@stevenholton438]

Congratulations for not saying 'obviously' every other sentence like certain Scottish players and the majority of other sportspeople tend to! He's a communicator!

Gi gi needs to go go. She seems nice enough but she makes me cringe when doing interviews, make not so much this one lol Great work jack good chance in next round

@@cukuwaekele aaah thank you

[@herbertchow3200]

I’m a lefty and I’m supposed to be happy for him but I’m not, because he cheated Felix at the previous tournament

[@tonytse4905]

Draper. You still cheated at Cincinnati. Sinner called a double bounce on himself BEFORE the umpire ruled in tonight's round of 16 vs Tommy Paul. Just wondering....would you have done that? Hmmm....

[@revdwendy1019]

He did not cheat - he offered to replay the point.

[@tonytse4905]

@@revdwendy1019 He should have conceded the point. Not replay because he LOST the point. Any honourable and honest player would have conceded the point. No replay needed.
